Summary:
The Scotland County R-I school district in Missouri operates two schools: Scotland County Elementary and Scotland County High. While Scotland County High boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole faces challenges, with both schools struggling with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Scotland County Elementary has relatively low test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, with only 18.6% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43%. In contrast, Scotland County High School has had more success in certain subject areas, such as Biology I, but has struggled with low math proficiency rates, with only 22% of 7th graders and 30.7% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the MAP Math assessment.
The Scotland County R-I district is ranked 248 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district as a whole may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools (17.8%) are also a concern and may be contributing to the low academic performance. While the schools have relatively small student-teacher ratios, the data does not indicate whether this is translating into improved student outcomes.
